								from the university UTN-FRR in Resistencia, Argentina, organized an SQL challenge
								using DB2 Express-C. You can for example, organize different courses using DB2
								Express-C. A popular one would be a course to prepare for the DB2 Certification
								exam!

				<blockquote>9. Ensure you document everything you are doing, and take pictures. You can keep
								track of your activities through this DB2 on Campus Portal. All of these will be used to
								prepare a letter of recommendation at the end of your period as ambassador. The
								more activities you perform, the more we can add in your letter!
